Elements on canvas not showing for an user

Hello.

I have some app I use with some friends, everything works fine for all of them but one have a strange issue.
This is an app that is only showing graphic elements on a canvas. When he’s asked for a login he see the interface just fine. They are manually set with GUI.Button or GUI.Label functions. After that the Unity canvas should be displayed but he only see the empty skybox behind.

He runs it on a vista x86 and seems to have some issue with his computer recently. It worked fine 3 months ago.

Any idea of what is going on?

Bump!!!!!!!

Is the scale universal for each player. Like if p1 board is scale 1 then the cube will be scale 1 as well. And if p2's board is scale 1.75 then p2's board will be 1.75 as well?

It is difficult to troubleshoot this issue without any code. But my guess would be , it might be the resolution. The buttons and the label must be rendered but they must be configured for lower resolution or something. Also, are you using the OnGUI() method to draw all your GUI.Button and GUI.Label functions ?

I think the code is just fine since on 9 users only one have a trouble. We tried many resolution but the issue is still the same and yes the GUI.Button and GUI. Label are used inside an OnGUI() but I remind you that they are working fine, the issue is with the canvas which is just not rendered for him after the loggin is done.

I could even say the resolution shouldn't be an issue since the GUI.Buttons or Label are set with Screen.height and Screen.width and canvas is set with anchors so I doubt the resolution could be an issue.

No, if p1 board's scale is 1, all p1 objects' scale is 1, but p2 board and objects scale could be different.

My friend just tried with the old version of my program (which doesn’t change much by the way) which was built with an older version of unity (5.2.2f1) and it worked.
Not really a fix but better than nothing.
Now that really sounds like a Unity update problem (I’m using 5.4.1f1 btw) combined with a specific combination of circunstances.

So p2 can have multiple different scales?
